Magnetism, dynamo action and the solar-stellar connection
AS Brun, MK Browning - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2017 - Springer
The Sun and other stars are magnetic: magnetism pervades their interiors and affects their
evolution in a variety of ways. In the Sun, both the fields themselves and their influence on …

Angular momentum transport in stellar interiors
Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that
efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space …

Weakened magnetic braking as the origin of anomalously rapid rotation in old field stars
JL Van Saders, T Ceillier, TS Metcalfe, VS Aguirre… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
A knowledge of stellar ages is crucial for our understanding of many astrophysical
phenomena, and yet ages can be difficult to determine. As they become older, stars lose …

Inferring probabilistic stellar rotation periods using Gaussian processes
Variability in the light curves of spotted, rotating stars is often non-sinusoidal and quasi-
periodic–spots move on the stellar surface and have finite lifetimes, causing stellar flux …
